Weapons of the Civil War
All weapons listed on this webpage are strictly manufactured before 1898, and are considered unsafe for actual use. These are antique collectible weapons of the Civil War (most are pre 1865, unless I state otherwise) and actual firing of these weapons is not recommended for any purpose whatsoever! Because these are all "pre 1898" weapons, no licenses are required for ownership, but common sense and good judgment are real good things to have.
W0748 Model 1860 Cavalry Saber, Mansfield & Lamb 1862
The model 1860
saber was made slightly lighter than the model 1840 and was the primary saber of
the Federal cavalry by the end of the war. Ricasso is marked "MANSFIELD
& LAMB / FORESTDALE RI" and "US / CGS / 1862". Additional
inspector stamp, "H" on pommel. Iron scabbard with iron mountings.
The
grip has leather wrap and wire intact, leather washer intact. Guard was bent
forward by the soldier, it was easier for the cavalryman to hold in a charge.
Clean blade, scabbard intact with light rust, all marks are clear, nice early
war dated example from one of the scarcer makers.
Blade length 35 inches
